Answer

930 V 3.9 A

Work Step by Step

First use the relationship between peak and rms values, equation 18–8. $$V_{peak}=\sqrt2V_{rms}=\sqrt{2}(660V)=930V$$ Next, relate the rms values to the power by using equation 18-9a. $$P=I_{rms}V_{rms}=\frac{I_{peak}}{\sqrt2}V_{rms}$$ $$I_{peak}=\frac{\sqrt2P}{V_{rms}}=\frac{\sqrt2(1800W)}{660V}=3.9A$$
